Watching “The Sarah Connor Chronicles” Season 1 (2008) after reading the post-“T2” comics and novels, it seems certain that producer Josh Friedman is doing a loose adaptation of those materials. However, listening to his episode commentaries, it […]
Dynamite Comics seemed to have little regard for continuity when it abruptly and inexplicably switched to a new timeline between Issues 5 (the last issue of “Infinity”) and 6 (the first issue of the “Painkiller […]
The track record of crossovers in the “Terminator” saga has been a bit shaky so far, with guest appearances by “Robocop,” “Superman,” “Aliens” and “Predator.” Of all things, it turns out to be “Painkiller Jane” […]
